if your going with extractors/headers and a cat back, then you might want to think about high flow cats.
also once you have done those mods look at getting a custom mafless dyno tune done, this will allow you to get the most out of the exhaust and intake.
then from there you have the choice of looking at force feeding it, supercharger, single or twin turbo setup, or keeping it N/A,
if keeping it N/A then you start looking at things like headwork (valves, stems, seats, port and polish, blue printed) all expensive then stroker crank out to a 4.2 litre i think i seen one not that long ago, (who wouldn't have wanted a fuel injected 253 back in the day?) then either way you go (force fed or N/A) you start looking at the rest of the drive line, tranny shift kit, stage 1 or maybe 2 depending how much power your running, diff gears depending whether you want a quarter mile king or a sensible highway cruiser thats still good on fuel


just a few ideas mate

p.s if you go turbo or supercharger then you'll want to look at the headwork aswell just to be on the safe side

So I found a problem the other day, the cars battery was shorting out & wasnt charging. Orginally I thought the battery was ****ed. Turns out t was a terminal problem. So after frorking out $100 for a battery I then had to pay another $50 for two terminals. But its all good. Returning the battery Monday and getting $50 back which I will put into my "Car Fund"

I need some opinions from people who have modified there VT engine.

What was the best thing you did to it?
What can you reccomend?
What would you suggest I stay away from?

I may post this in the VT-VX section as more people are probably more likley to read it

Please give me your best and honest advice
